That's what the chart (from the study supplemental documentation) shows, which doesn't rally make sense to me. Maybe it's an error in the chart. I would expect the opposite.

@RunningMan I don’t have any manoeuvres at all so I am hoping the ME implant works for me. I would try Susan Shore but worried it may not work.

Thats not true. Hang in there.

No it won't. Hang on.

I told some people in my dream that I couldn’t do it anymore. I am on my last thread.

At least with constant tones they can kind of fade into the background but the chirps are so distracting and attention grabbing.

This is really it. It takes over your entire consciousness. No one seems to understand that. I can no longer think coherently because my brain is chirping and it has decided chirping is more important than conscious awareness. I'm already dead.

yes, but not signed up yet. In the middle of a job change & relocation, so waiting until my situation is a bit more stable before starting anything like this

I have been dealing with lots of issues. if tinnitus is the only issue, a solution might be around a corner. just say, c u to mia again, if you can. be glad u dont have visual snow, total insomnia, mania, ttts, hypershitusis and headaches to go along with your t.

@BB23 my tinnitus isn’t somatic, and if it was, I would be more hopeful plus we don’t know when it will be approved, submitted or released. I am sorry you’re going through those other awful health conditions, but my tinnitus is completely unbearable and painful and you really don’t know what all I have been through and go through along with it.

I think it can happen. I did recover from my concert-T 10 years ago. Complete silence. Not sure abt my current-demonic-T.

@kingsfan I agree with you. I think Reddit is a catch-all type of basket full of random people commenting on random topics. The people who are most passionate or most knowledgeable about a topic are usually found at specialty websites devoted to said topic.

Severe T itself is rare, and recovery even more so. But it happens.

Age related hearing loss isn't going to get better until there's a treatment for it. T is more common in older people. And for sudden noise trauma, it seems the younger folks have a better chance of recovery in the short term.

I got mine from an infection at 31. My FIL has age related hearing loss from noise exposure at his job. He wears HAs. He had loud tinnitus and after 1 year with HAs he no longer has it. He can go 2 weeks at a time without his hearing aids and it doesn’t really come back… maybe a small amount but nothing like it was.. then he puts them back in again and it goes away. He goes to all types of loud places too

My stepfather has tinnitus and hearing loss from riding motorcycles and working on heavy machinery. His tinnitus goes completely away while wearing his hearing aids

One day everyone will

I will sooner rather than later

What is ME?

@JeffToob middle ears

Like WTF? Do you suggest psychiatric help, too when you break a leg?

Those are the furthest thing from cute lol

They are when you have my level of T severity.. they are a reprive… plus how they feel in my ear helps the chronic irritation I feel from my ears and current T

Had the cutest little fleeting T moment in R ear today. So thin, around 8K. Felt good in my ear and he was cute. Wished I had that over what I normally have.

Yes. You have hiss from hell? I have both, and the hiss is worse. Only recently I started suspecting ETD, which nobody has diagnosed me with.

@gameover pls do your research about ETD and get copies of your audiogram to compare. ETD often shows type C tymphs.. the pressure must be way in the negatives.

These ENTs are useless. Entirely Not Treating.

@MiaVIL Your best bet is to try and see a doctor who is willing to go over it with you.

@kingsfan I live in Canada where I cannot get a second opinion. I am going back to my doctor on Thurs after demanding an appt.

Thank you, back at you

@RunningMan I doubt it. My CT scan shows “middle ear disease”. I have no idea what to do… I get screaching. I thought I was healing.

You have a way to kill this shit. Look for better doctor now!!!

@gameover I’m trying but I don’t what is wrong with me. Hopefully I get some answers within the next 2 weeks. How do I even know that ME disease causes this much T?

@Nick47

Your dr can read it surely?

My ENT won’t see me anymore

@SumGuy I don’t have ringing. My problem is sharp hissing/ticks and crackles

Everything is mostly silent? That's incredibly good news!

@Juliane its not gone. I have painful hissing/crackles/ticks
